Warm homemade croissants, too delicious to pass up! Miss E (19) completed making several trays in time for morning tea, served with jam and cream.
"There's one of your bug friends on the screen door!" I grabbed my camera to investigate. This little Spotted Flower Chafer was inside the house. "Mummy's talking to an insect".....Carefully I pried him off the screen and took him outside where he happily flew away just after I snapped this.
Master T (12) has been very keen to make hot cross buns. Doubling a recipe from a rather old book, he had to convert the measurements from imperial to metric. I caught him half way through and discovered he had no intention of reading the instructions, instead he was just adding all the ingredients to a large bowl. Too late to do anything else, I left him to the mixing and kneading. With a little instruction from Miss E he made two and a half trays of jumbo buns, crossing them ready for baking.
He even made and applied the glaze to make them look and taste even better.
They were a hit with everyone!
One of the other delights of my day - finally capturing some shots of this lovely "Blue Triangle Butterfly" which I have seen flying around our yard recently. Love the colours!
This one looks like it's seen better days, yet it's still very beautiful.
Hope you are able to find something "delectable" in your day too!

Your baked delights look awesome!!! I cannot believe your daughter baked those croissants. I got to learn someday. For now we are content with the ones from the bakery..:D
Wonderful post and your photos make me want to come to Australia for breakfast. What a lovely butterfly also!
These croissants and buns look delicious - this, a cop of coffee and a walk in the garden with the butterflies - perfect morning picture!
have a great week-end.
Wonderful post! Can come to you?:)))
WOW!! Miss E has a real gift. Is she studying this year or working? Looks to me like she would make a great chef. They look delicious.
Young Master T did a great job with those Hot cross buns too. You have a talented bunch there.
And of course, your garden shots are always a delight. I would love the opportunity to photograph butterflies & bugs like you do. Sadly we don't really have a garden to speak of. I miss my old yard with all the trees & flowers.
How do you make food and insects together on one page look so good? Only you! The croissants look divine! Love these.
I think Master T is a very talented young man!! The buns and croissants look delicious and I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm drooling. And what interesting bug and gorgeous butterflies! I love their colors! Delightful post as always! Wishing you and your family a great weekend!

Rogaliki i bułeczki wyglądają smakowicie . Motyl jest przepiękny, a biedronka jest pewno wdzięczna za oddanie jej wolności. Pozdrawiam. *** Croissants and buns look tasty. A butterfly is beautiful, and the ladybug is certainly grateful for the dedication of its freedom. Yours
